This paper draws on the authors’ experience working in informal settlements in Buenos Aires and with the privatized utility (Aguas Argentinas) to consider how privatized provision for water and sanitation can best meet the needs of low-income groups, especially those living in informal settlements. It includes a discussion of the key issues that should be taken into account when government agencies responsible for privatization design the bid, and an elaboration of the different organizational models through which private utilities can provide water and sanitation in informal or otherwise unserved low-income settlements.
